Bro. Moderator, we your committee on Tiduration beg leave ta : 
make the following report: eek ae Su as 
_ Whereas we know education is bringing out of a sing chat | 
whick has been placed in it, we should educate our girls and 
boys to bring out the best they have in them. As ithe 
world is calling for prepared men and women, in order to answer 
the call of the world we should be educated. Therefore, every 
girl and boy should prepare themselves to work in the service of 
the Lord. The church is in need of prepared leadership. 

We, as members of the Deep River Association should encour- a = 
age our girls and boys to get at least a high school education | 
For suck schools that will give our girls and boys religious edu- 
cation, we recommend especially Shaw University, Thompson In- _ S

MODERATOR’S ANNUAL MESSAGE IN THE EIGHTH 
SESSION OF THE DEEP RIVER MISSIONARY BAPTIST 


- ASSOCIATION 


Cameron, N. C., October 2, 1924 

Brother Vice-Moderator, Fellow-Ministers, Brethren and Friends. 

It affords me exultant pleasure to come before you at this 
time to say words of. consolation and encouragement to you. 
I say, Fellow-Ministers, Brethren and Friends, I feel that these 
words are very significant. If we are ministers at all we are 
yoked together in the common cause of our Lord and his Christ. 
We are brethren if we be true servants of God. I call you not 


Bxguh0. DI MSG 1924

servants but friends, says Christ, for the servant knows not what 
his Lord -doeth. Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I com-. 
mand you. He that is a friend to the world is an enemy to God. 
“We are friends because we belong to God by adoption and are 
duty bound to look out for each other. 


I am aware how that the Lord has led us for these past eight 
years that we have been struggling in His cause, this ‘Deep 
River Association.” We started out at the foot of the moun- 
tain without any encouragement from men. We were without 
money, ministers, church houses and church members, but that 
did not stop us for we know that God was with and in every- 
thing that had for its object right. Through earnest and un- 
tiring efforts. He has multiplied all our resources to the ex- 
tent that we feel it our duty here in the opening of this session 
of the Association to stop at the threshold of entrance and bow 
in kumble submission to His divine guidance and give as- 
piring adoration to Him who cares for his own and sing “Praise 
God from whom all blessings flow.” 

Our strugglers in the past should give us courage to go -for. 
ward in the strength’ of Him who said, “T will never leave thee 
nor forsake thee” and plan a very definite program for the fu- 
ture of our work, all fall tn line and put it over. In the past we 
have been devoting most of our time and means to church build- 
ing which was very essential, for we didn’t have a suitable place 
in which to worship. I think it well to continue our church ex- 
tension work but do more of something else also. 

Now that we have come up to this eighth session to bring in 
our report, I trust that whatever has been done has met the ap- 


proval of God. I trust that all of us have done our best. We 
don’t glory becatuse of the success that we have had, but because 
we have power in God. We are not here to simply see each 
other, but here to get and give inspiration. We have come to 
get the orders for another year. We trust that the ministers 
ave preached and unmixed gospel and that the officers have 
kept it going in their absence by serving as his armour-bearer. 


gle 


That ihe members have been inspired to live nobler lives and io re 
render more acceptable service to God and humanity. % 
Our purpose now should be to plan for greater vhings vhan ‘ 
ever before, because the time, age and wie Denominational 
needs require it. We haven’t done very mueh gor education sor 
these past years yet we have done something. This coming year ; 
we should not only resolve to do more but really do more. but 
there should be a better and more tangible system of doing edu- — 
cational work. Girls or boys who go off to school and desire aid 
the following suggestions should be heeded: They should have 


completed the Elementary grades before going away (but that 
is their business). Before we aid them there should come a writ- 
ten testamony from the church or Sunday School of which ithe — 
person is a member (and they should be Christians,) stating his 
or her worthiness etc. Then that person should either attend 
some of our Baptist schools or State Normals. After vhe first — 
year in Sica a sv-ivvi, his or her iast ye. s record should govern 
our giving. We should not give in any case less than one month — 
schooling. Should any of our young men, or old ones, for that 
matter, decide to study for the ministry—and it must needs pe 
that they do if they would do the work. We skould hold oursei-~ 
ves obligated to aid them to the extent of our financial ability, 
Since everything is progressing | it is indespensibly necessary that 
those wko mean to preach the gospel must prepare for it. I am i 
seriously opposed to laying hands on any who can’t and will not Be 
come up to the State Ministerial requirements; complete at least

Future Church Work

ee ly want it. Where there are people who fell out with their 
church on account of some petty differences and want us to go 
or come there anu erect a clvarch to please that faction we should 
‘be very precautious along that line. It is not the more churches 
that we want as such but bigger and better ones. A more uni- 
fied memberslhvy. I think that repairing of a church belongs to 
the members of that church, unless the membership is so small 
that they can’t do so. But take any church with more than 40 
members, that church ougkt to do all of her repairs etc and let 
us use our church money where it is really needed, so that when 
a church simply wants to beautify herself let the members of 
that church do so. 


Where Churches are <o be Built the Membership being Sufficient 
Should Take the Lead. 


It might be gratifying to you to know what has really been 
done during these eight years in church buildings. The follow- 
ing figures will give you an approximate knowledge of some 
expenditure: Edwards Grove Church, Liberty, amount spent, 
31000.00; Mount Pleasant, Bonlee, $1000.00; Robert Chapel, 
$2500.00; Wall Street, Sanford, $1600.00; Shady Grove, Bear 
Creek, $1000.00; New Bensalem, $500.00; First Baptist, Camer- 
on, $1000.00; First Baptist, Siler City, $2000.00; Black River 
Grove, $2000.00, On repairs: Oakland, Ramseur, $500.00; Lam- 
bert Chapel, $300.00; Red Hill, $800.00; Bethlehem, $200.00; 
New Zion, Jonesboro, $260.00; Mount Olive, Moncure, $200.00; 
Mt. Moriah, Harnett, $200.00; Taylor’s Chapel $100.00; Oak 
» Grove $100.00. This Association and its auxiliaries have not 
done all of this but have assisted greatly and encouraged them io 
do the work. Our membership hag doubled itself and many in- 
spired to do more in the future than in the past. 


Total Amount for Church Expenses. 


New building about $2700.00; on repairs $2100.00. 
This will give you some idea of how the money of the bounds 
has been spent. I am sure with these figures you would challenge 


any body of this size in the state, and I dare say that you would 


find yourselves leading in this directon. This should also be 


gratifying to us all to make greater resolves for the future to 
do more along this and other lines for the Lord and humanity. 


We have not done so much mission—Home and Foreign— as. 


we desired, but we hope that we will line up in the future and 
do our bit in the great mission movement. Shaw University is 
now calling for $20,000 for Endowment. We should do all we 
can to kelp them mantain their A standard. 

We should especially encourage public schools in our various. 
communities and sen our children to school. 


Since there is a great project launched by the Baptist of Wes- 
tern N. C., to erect some time in the future a Standard A Grade 
High School for the edueation of the Baptist boys and girls of 
Western, N. ©., we should now begin to lay in store some educa- 
tional money so at the next Annual session in Asheville, Sep- 
tember, 1925, we can assist them in raising the first thousand 
teward that end. You will note the definite ends to which they 
are working through the columns of the Enterprise from time to. 
time. We urge that we line up in a cooperative way with our 
' brethren in the West and at the same time do our general State 
work as heretofore. We must work up the West and prepare 2. 
place for these boys and girls that we are educating. Let ws 
adopt the system suggested by the President of the Western 
Convention, Dr. F. R. Mason. 


Church-Going 


We should carry our children to church that they might learn 
the rules of our grset church so that when we are dead and zone 
they might know how to carry the-business on.’ Then they would 
be. inspired to do something. We should carry them to quarter- 
ly and annual meetings that they might see our work—and cs- 
pecially should we bring or send our young church members that 
they may become inspired to go home and help put into opera- 
tin the things learned Here.

profitable by making the Saturday meeting more interesting and 
instructive. There is too much rangling in our Saturday meet. 
ings and not enough real teaching concerning church work. Lei 
us as pastors and church officers wake up along these lines. 
€hurches that have a sufficient number of members need to have 
services twice per month, Prayer meetings and other auxiliary 
meeting that will‘Keep the church alive. As ministers, let us lay 
aside everything else but poreece the gospel when we enter we 
SU pIts. | at 
Our Women’s Work 


I could not afford to close this address without saying some- 
thing about the great work that our sisters are doing. ‘ine 
WVoman’s Convention, an Auxiliary of this Association, has- and 
is doing a telling work throughout these bounds. I think that 
teey should receive all the encouragement that we are capabie 
._f giving them. . 

The Circles in our churches, and there should be one in each 
church should receive and be given special consideration. Where 
the sisters’. department is alive in a church you will find that the 
church is more alive. Let us then lend them a helping hand in 

-eir endeavors. : 

When their meeting shall open let us all dispense with our 
business and come in and help them carry theirs on and out. 
For we are all ona 


Our Fee 


In reference to our Annual fee all the church officers should 
pay their fee whether they are present or absent. That we be 


very careful in ordaining church officers unless they come up to 


the required Bible standard. In consideration of the foregoing 
I recommend: : 

That this Association stand firm in the Faith that was delivered 
to the saints and that we be one hundred per cent ae in ev- 
ary sense of the word. 

That we stand for a clean, trained, progressive gospel :minis- 
try. That we contend for a regenerated membership. 


.20 


That the churches of this bound especially require the church 
officers to perform their duty or come down. 

That we carry our children vo civarch and Sunday School, aiso 
earry them to Quarterly and Annual meetings that they may learn 
_ our work and be able when we are gone io carry it on. 

That we etand for educating our boys and girls. That we en- 
courage better ; uv.ic scnoo.s and importance of our people send- 
ing their children until they have completed the Elementary 
grades. 

That when they have completed their common scnool course 
and are ready to go off to school that we encourage them vo be 
sent to our church or state schools. 


That we hold ourselves bound to assist all- worthy girls or voys 
who desire to attend these schools after having come up to the 
requirement set by this Association; they must have completed 
the 7th grade at home, a written testimony from the church of 
whick: he or she is a member, testifying as to his or her worthi- 
ness. Then we shall help such ones not less than to a month’s iu- 
ition in the school. The second year off in school vhe :ecord 
there will determine our financial obligation. 

That we encourage our young and even old ministers to zo 10 — 
school and that we aid such ones to our financial ability. 

That from now on we not only lay hands on any one wk» js 
not able to come up to the Biodle and State Ministerial requfre- 
ments; they must have completed the common school and even 
farther if possible, then take a three year Bible or Theological 
course in Shaw or some other Baptist Bible School and on com- 
pletion, having shown fitness, that we recognize such one along 
that line. Those who have been struggling to improve that ‘-e 
will encourage them to cont*nue, and wken they have efficiently 
proven themselves that they be given what is due them. 

That we lay hands on no one as deacon wko has not come up 
to the Bible requirement, all these things having been proved. 

That we continue to stand up for missions, education and 
church extension. 


21 


That we continue to look out sites and build churches where 
they are needed. 

That when a church wants to repair or beautify itself that 
the members do that themselves and not ask this body for aid, 
provided that they have enough on roll to do that, that we may 
give our money to those more worthy. 

That when churches want a new building that the members 
take the leading start in such a movement and that we help cs 
far as we are financially able. 

That we ask the churches when we return to raise the :nem- 
bership per capita for another year from 15c to 25c Association 
"ee. ‘ 

That we stand firm for all the things that real Baptists stand 
for. ‘ 

That all the churches be required to report and pay for ail 
she members on roll in our Association. 

That we go down from this session more fully inspired to 20 
more real work for God and humanity in the future than in the 
pass. . 

That we take out two more shares in the Sanford Enterprise, 
cur home paper, which will make us own $100.00 stock (four 
tnares). 

We, as your humble servants, have rsolved to study more to 
show himself approved unto God a workman that needeth not 
be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth. 

Now, may the Lord smile upon you and keep you in the bound 
of peach and unity, and that you moy live long and render much 
service to God. The Lord bless the efforts of your hands.
